After Liu Erlong told Xiao Yan about the relationship between Grandmaster and Bibi Dong, she had no reason to stay.
There was no reason left for them to stay.
As Liu Erlong left, Xiao Yan's gaze inevitably fell upon the group from the Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun are now huddled together, while Zhou Yi, who had previously been too cowardly to stand up, no longer has the courage to stand with them.
As for Dai Mubai, who was severely injured by Xiao Yan, he had already been taken away by the people of the Star Luo Empire.
Ultimately, he was still a prince of the Star Luo Empire.
No matter who came from the Star Luo Empire, they couldn't just stand by and watch Dai Mubai die here.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were taken away by Tang Hao, and of the original Shrek Seven Devils, only Ning Rongrong and two others remain.
" Xiao Yan!"
From afar, Ning Rongrong waved to Xiao Yan Xiao Yan and walked towards him together with Oscar.
As for Ma Hongjun, he remained standing there, still looking at Xiao Yan with resentment.
After all, he had the best relationship with Dai Mubai, so he also had the most prejudice against Xiao Yan.
"Long time no see, Rongrong and Oscar."
Xiao Yan's gaze fell on Ning Rongrong and Oscar, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
Long time no see! I'm so glad you two are alright!
Ning Rongrong made no attempt to hide the worry and excitement in her eyes, and hugged Zhu Zhuqing tightly as they walked together, saying:
"After you left, I didn't believe Dai Mubai's words. I even went back to the sect and asked my father to use the sect's resources to find you, but unfortunately, there has been no news."
As Xiao Yan listened to Ning Rongrong's rambling, a smile appeared in his eyes.
In the Douluo Continent today, besides Zhu Zhuqing and Grandpa Jack, his friendship with Ning Rongrong and Oscar can also be considered a source of affection.
The four of them huddled together and talked. Xiao Yan also learned about their plans from Ning Rongrong and Oscar.
With the conclusion of the finals, they officially graduated from the Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong naturally returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It is believed that with the resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, her strength will definitely develop rapidly.
As for Oscar, he rejected Ning Fengzhi's offer and chose to remain at the Shrek Academy.
"I was adopted by the dean. Now that everyone has left, Shrek Academy can't just close down like this. With the Shrek Team now holding the title of second on the continent, it's a good way to promote ourselves."
Oscar scratched his head, a smile on his face, and said:
"Since you've all left, I'll stay at the academy and help the dean."
"Of course, I might decide to travel around sometime on a whim."
" Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, where are you?" Ning Rongrong asked, holding Zhu Zhuqing's arms with both hands, feeling Zhu Zhuqing's softness, while staring intently at Xiao Yan.
Oscar also looked at Xiao Yan with curiosity.
Xiao Yan was taken aback upon hearing this. If it were before, staying in the Spirit Hall to cultivate would have been a good choice for Xiao Yan as well.
However, now that he knows the relationship between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Yan will no longer stay in this place.
"We... we don't know yet. Maybe we'll choose to travel across the continent in some time."
Xiao Yan wasn't sure if Titled Douluo had a way to eavesdrop on their conversation, so he didn't give a definitive answer.
"Alright," Ning Rongrong and Oscar continued, speaking to Xiao Yan.
"We've already made a promise: five years from now, if everyone has the time, we must go back to the Shrek Academy for a visit!"
Seeing the expectant looks in Ning Rongrong and Oscar's eyes, Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment before deciding not to agree immediately.
"If it's five years from now... then we will definitely come looking for you two."
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment before answering.
As for the reason for the silence, everyone knows it in their hearts: no matter what, the existence of the Grandmaster will eventually become a rift.
" Rongrong, it's time to go."
On the other side, Ning Fengzhi waved to Ning Rongrong, then looked at Xiao Yan and said:
" Xiao Yan, welcome to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School."
"Greetings, Senior Ning, and Your Excellency Sword Douluo. I will certainly pay you a visit if I have the opportunity."
To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Shrek's group left Spirit City together with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's team.
As Ning Fengzhi walked towards the outskirts of the city, he also treated many civilians affected by the battle between the Titled Douluo.
"Let's go, it's time to pick out our spoils."
After everyone had left, Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing headed towards the Pope's Palace. After all, they had agreed with Bibi Dong before the battle that they would have another chance to enter the Spirit Hall's treasury after winning the championship.
Bibi Dong wouldn't break her promise over such a trivial matter.
However, His Holiness the Pope could not possibly condescend to follow Xiao Yan around everywhere. Therefore, after giving her the warrant, he arranged for a bishop at the Soul Douluo level to lead the two of them toward the Spirit Hall's treasury.
"The Soul Bone we left behind was a speed-enhancing left leg bone, which is perfect for you. After this is over, you should go into seclusion and absorb that Soul Bone."
On their way to the treasure vault, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan to Zhu Zhuqing Zhu Zhuqing.
"This Soul Bone will be useful to you as well."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't nod, but instead spoke in a serious tone.
"Hey, I'm already in the Spirit Hall's treasury, what would I do with a mere Soul Bone? Besides, I already have two Soul Bone..."
Xiao Yan had previously killed the Eternal Frost Mourning Demon, from which the Head Soul Bone fell. He had also absorbed the two Soul Bone that Qian Renxue had given him last time, as well as the Soul Breaking Spear Immortal's Demon-Breaking Left Palm Bone.
This point, however, did not deceive Zhu Zhuqing.
However, Zhu Zhuqing did not believe Xiao Yan's dismissive attitude towards Soul Bone.
No one can ever have too many Soul Bone.
They simply wanted to leave it to each other.
"Alright, once we get back, you'll immediately go into seclusion to absorb the Soul Bone. That's settled."
Xiao Yan didn't give Zhu Zhuqing a chance to refute. After uttering those harsh words, he reached out and vigorously ruffled Zhu Zhuqing's hair, messing up the two cat ears that were specially tied up on her head. Then, with a smile on his face, he strode forward.
The Soul Douluo leading the way, overhearing their conversation, was itching to shout, "You don't want the Soul Bone? Give it to me! I want it!"
Now that Xiao Yan has come up to him, he naturally doesn't give him a friendly look.
With her hair disheveled by Xiao Yan, Zhu Zhuqing's face fell immediately. She glared at Xiao Yan, and amidst their laughter and banter, the two arrived at the core area of the Spirit Hall.
After passing through several checkpoints and using the warrant given by Bibi Dong, they arrived in front of a vast palace.
"This is His Holiness the Pope's decree, authorizing Xiao Yan to choose one item from the treasury. Please verify it, Senior."
The fact that Soul Douluo would address someone as "senior" with such respect suggests that their identity is obvious even without thinking.
Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing also became serious.
"Greetings, senior."
Taking advantage of the moment while he was carrying his luggage, Xiao Yan curiously sized up the old man guarding the gate. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with half of his head of white hair already bald. He was sitting lazily in a chair with his eyes half-closed.
"Um..."
The old man responded lazily, saying languidly:
"Choose whatever you want... I bet you'll empty this treasure trove sooner or later..."
The old man waved his hand impatiently, and the token in Soul Douluo's hand flew into his hand. Then, with a flick of his finger, the token landed directly on Xiao Yan's chest.
"Kid, you have fifteen minutes. When the time is up, come out immediately. What you choose is up to fate."
